BEST PRACTICES IN BANANA TIME is a mixed reality talk show that takes place live on stage at the EMPIRE DRIVE-IN at the 2010 01SJ BIENNIAL in San Jose, California (www.01sj.org) and simultaneously in SECOND LIFE on Eyebeam Island. Through a streaming webcam in San Jose, both RL and SL audience members will be able to participate in a Q & A session with talk show guests.

Hosted by DOCTOR RODENBERGER (Double Happiness Manufacturing) and special co-host ROBIN HOOF, the talk show explores what it means to work between worlds and features Second Life residents that work the same job in SL as in RL or are using SL for real world impact. During the one hour show, we’ll be discussing how the virtual environment of Second Life affects the meaning and value of one’s work.
